You need to slow-cook the poor.
I recommend marinading your typical hobo for at least 48 hours in a mixture of strong cider and a selection of strongly-flavoured herbs and spices. Only after having rifled their pockets and been at their gold teeth and fillings with a set of pliers, naturally. Then having eviscerated and dissected your random poor person (they're readily available at all good cardboard boxes, derelict buildings and outside off-licences and supermarkets doing cheap booze deals) you put the excess in your deep freeze for later, putting the offal and a few choice cuts aside for your cat, naturally, (waste not want not in these difficult and austere times), you either do a nice casserole in your slow cooker or opt for gentle, slow-roasting at about 160 degrees while you're preparing the mixed vegetables and enjoying a nice glass of good red wine as red always works better with meat, I find.
One advantage to the current economic climate is that hobos are a constantly available food source and, if you're lucky, you can also appease your social conscience and sense of natural justice when you realise that your Sunday roast was once a banker, politician or previously employed by the DWP. Hobos aren't just for Christmas. If you're not too greedy they can last right through to New Year as well.
